I got banned from the Bernie group and have been a memberof DU since 2001

I have been a contributing member here since January 2001 and today I got banned from the Bernie group. Needless to say I won't be giving a dime here for a while. After Hillary is the nominee I will see how things line out and decide if DU is worth my time. For the last six months it hasn't been.

Nobody is safe. I would imagine the ones left must be a very small group. I didn't say anything terrible about Bernie but something positive about Hillary. Shutter. I was impressed with one of her debates and said so. I was a goner immediately. Oh well.

One has to wonder about their skin being as thin as... Trump.

I once went there to thank someone and added that I was Hillary supporter. The "reward" was immediate and swift.

I have not seen it here for a while, and perhaps the hosts here decided to fight back but the nerve that they had coming here and posting their "opinions" and, worse, alerting and getting their majority to hide posts here.

I haven't even been on DU that long...not even 6 months. I said something that wasn't even overly critical of Bernie Sanders and bam I was banned. But honestly...now that I have been on here all this time and see how they think and the things they write...I don't give a single damn. Pretty soon this will be over and Bernie Sanders will be back to being a Vermont Senator and Hillary Clinton will be on her way to the general election.

Bernie's fan-boys and fan-girls are extraordinarily sensitive hot-house flowers. If you say so much as "boo" about the esteemed senator from Vermont, they'll not only take offense (Why, I don't know. I've been far more rude when it comes to Republicans and Tea Party types), but they'll continue to quiver with indignation for at least two weeks afterwards.

Many of us have been banned from that group. Most of us just posted there by accident; I know I did. In this group, if someone posts a pro Bernie or anti Hillary post they are warned that they are in the Hillary Clinton Group. Unless of course they are deliberately disruptive in which case a Group moderator may ban them without warning.

Anyway, I don't consider it a great loss to be banned from the Bernie group. I avoid that place just like I avoid the toxic GDP.

Yeah, I was pretty strong in a post or two but I have been disgusted to see the person who is going to be our only hope of keeping a psychopath out of the White House trashed incessantly on what is supposed to be a progressive forum. Hillary is going to be the nominee. It isn't wishful thinking or media hype. It's reality. She will have won it under the rules of the game. It's been ugly but it is soon going to be over. Now we will see whether Senator Sanders is a true progressive or a whiny loser. Honestly, I can't say right now.

I did not even say anything bad about Bernie. It was a remark related to their nonsense about Hillary rigging the Arizona primaries, but I said absolutely nothing bad about the man.

I've been here since 2001, too.
